A member asked:
Do i still need a ep study if im getting a coronary angiogram? doesnt a coronary angiogram also locate where the arrhythmia is?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, totally different tests. An angiogram cannot locate the origin of an arrhythmia, will just provide information regarding main vessels/coronaries and their patency status (if open or obstructed).
